Democrats face a September dilemma
The bungled evacuation of Afghanistan (“surrender” seems the more appropriate word, considering the massive war materiel left behind intact for the Taliban) has teed up what could be a disastrous month of September for the Democrats.
Already, spontaneous chants of “F*ck Joe Biden” are breaking out in public venues, as widespread discontent that the media prefer to ignore manifests itself, fueled by the very suppression of their views. And just yesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law the voting integrity that Democrat legislators (aka, ”fleebaggers”) attempted to stymie by fleeing to Washington, DC on a pair of private jets, photographed not wearing face masks, only to encounter apathy from their allies at best and savage (and telling) mockery from their enemies.

Senators Manchin and Synema have indicated they don’t support it, and that should finish the matter since none of the GOP senators will support it. But the masters of the dark arts of persuasion seem to think they can twist their arms. We’ll see, but in the meantime, there are other problems.

For the country's sake, we should root for their failure. This legislation is an inflationary nightmare.
